About this ebook
Christopher A. Burns
At age 8 I had decided I wanted to write poetry, and at 15 decided to be a rock star. When I gaduated High School I thought it would be a fun idea to join the Silent Service(submarine service). After 4 years of punching holes in the ocean I spent a year attending Naropa University then moved to northern New Mexico. I still have no idea what to do with myself, so i'll write some poetry.

The backyard logging of society
The pencil-sharpening brain
And the immortality
Beginning with reality
Forever scars the mind
The most symbolic of dreaming! The most Symbolic of dreaming!
AND IT DRIVES ME ON!
